When the Asheville Lions Club Had its broom sate this spring, one of the salesmen was SgL E. W. Jones °f state highway patrol. And his success was a bit unusual. The sergeant wondered why the people looked so relieved when they opened the door and found that all he wanted to do was sell a broom. Most of them seemed “glad” to buy. Then it dawned on him. "ben the prospective customer opened the door and saw a state police man standing there they thought sure he had come to serve them with some kind of warrant. They were so relieved to find that he hadn’t come to arrest them on a traffic charge that they readily bought a broom. The sergeant sold out before cover ing much of his territory.

Old “Nibble Nook,” which for so many summers resounded with babbling voices and hilarious laughter as multitudes of people milled about her counters, tables and fountains partaking of de lectable, delicious and delightful refreshments following the even ing services at the auditorium, now stands across the street from the new building which will take its place. It stands with great dignity and poise ready to assume a new role in the religious, social, recreational and business life of the assembly as, perhaps, a class and conference room, an exhibit hall, an annex to the enlarged book store or gift shop, a lecture hall, concert hall, clinic, laboratory in visual education, a friendship station and fountain for inspira tion or a cloistered nook for the supplications of prayer mates. One thing is sure, her contribu tion to the work of the assembly in the future will not be a “nib ble, nick, lick or bite” but “hunk” as her hull houses and harbors hundreds of hopeful and humble hunters of happiness and holiness with high honors in hearing heav enly harmony of voices in song as the crowds mill around her in future activity at the assembly.
